Hi everyone,

Fairly new to Excel so apologies if this is a simple question!

I'm looking for a formula to highlight a cell based on the date within another cell e.g.

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Date Raised[/TD]
[TD]Follow Up Required[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]12/11/2017[/TD]
[TD]Yes[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]30/11/2017[/TD]
[TD]Yes[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]26/11/2017[/TD]
[TD]No[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

If the line has been 'open' two weeks over 'date raised' turn amber, 1 month red, no action required grey.

Hope you can help!
